 home he founded the famous Chicago
 Fire Patrol' and became its captain.
 He supplemented ideas of his own, tc
 what he had seen in the eastern cities, among ether things inventing auto. matic arrangements which saved one halt the time in harnessing the horses
 and getting the patrol team started alter the alarm he'd sounded.
 For thirteen years he devoted his energies to this service, perfecting it Tn every detail and working in friend
 Iy rivalry with his old comrades of
 the fire department in endeavoring to
 be hrst at every point of danger where
 human succour was most sorely need
 ed. During that thirteen years of
 service-in which the great fire was
 an eplsode--many were his deeds of
 "derrlng-do" as the Scotch love to
 call acts of heroism, that will never be
 known until the books are opened
 that reveal the record of all human
 lives.
 During the latter part of his time oi service as chief of the Fire Patrol, Captain Bullwinkle was in the truck and teamlng business which he car r!ed on Tn an extensive way. In 1884 he resigned his position as captain of The patrol service and gave his whole attention to his own business. In the fall of 1885 he disposed of that and Tn the last week of December of that year he arrived in Flagstaff and took charge of the affairs of the Arizona Cattle company as their general man ager.
 At that tune the affairs of the com. pany were ia great disorder, their cattle were all over northern Arizona but Tn a short tune, by indehtigable work, he succeeded in getting the most of the stock within the compa- ny's range and reducing the general chaos of their affairs to something like order. He constructed an immense dam at the Ronx spring capable of holding several million gallons of wa ter fenced in the company'S land fronting on the railroad and impro, ed the headquarters and residence at Fort K'c&eraon, laying out a large quantity of land for agricultural pur- poses. He then built a telephone iine trom'the Fort to Flagstaff. In shorts he made of what had been valuable but neglected property the hdcst cattle range in the southwestern country. He then set to work 10 i'm prove the stock, commencing by pla- cing on the range about sixty thor 1ushbred boiled Angus and Galloway huits, Since that tune high grade ca,'ie has been constantly added % the stock and many fine horses, among the latter "Coloael," " mag nlhcent Perchcroa stallion. l. auy person who saw Fort Rickerson Cihen ."ane1 Fort Mlrion) two years ago would pay visit 10 it now they would scarcely recognize the neatly !liI out quarters, with its well cultl- 'ated glrIea3, the telephone line ieailag from the railroad to the of. lcc, tn- neat and convenient rcsiden. ces a"G the hundreds of things con. venient to inodi ranch, as the al- most desolate place that the company had purchased only q few years ago from the MOrmoHs.

His la mlliar face was seen upon our streets l almost every day and no man could ! have been taken away from our midst that would have been more missed. l Capt.
